On the occasion of the opening of David Bowie Is at the Brooklyn Museum, Parlophone is pleased to announce a selection of exclusives, only available at the Brooklyn Museum starting 2nd March.

The exhibition - David Bowie Is has been touring globally for the past five years visiting London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Tokyo, Melbourne, Bologna, Chicago and will be taking its final bow at the Brooklyn Museum in New York from 2nd March.

As with many of the other stops on the tour there will be exclusive limited Bowie vinyl for sale at the Brooklyn Museum.

‘TIME’ (U.S. single edit) / ‘THE PRETTIEST STAR’ (7” silver vinyl single / rare picture sleeve)Exclusive to the exhibition shop at the Brooklyn Museum, this item is a translucent silver vinyl version of the 1973 ‘Time’/‘The Prettiest Star’ US 7” single complete with a reproduction of the original undistributed picture sleeve.

LIVE IN BERLIN (1978) (8 Track orange vinyl mini-LP)Also exclusive to the exhibition shop will be an 8-track mini-LP on transparent orange vinyl, recorded live in Berlin at the Deutschland Halle, Berlin on 16th May, 1978. Four of the tracks are completely unreleased and the remaining four were only issued within the last six months, three on a digital streaming only E.P. which was only available for five days and one on the B-side of the 40th Anniversary “Beauty And The Beast” 7” picture disc released on 5th January this year. The front cover features a shot taken by fan Antoine Loogman at the show.

iSELECT (Red vinyl LP)Due to overwhelming demand this exhibition only exclusive red vinyl LP will be made available once more. The iSelect compilation features tracks chosen personally by Bowie along with sleeve notes on a fold out insert. This LP has only previously been available in very limited quantities at other David Bowie is exhibition shops. All tracks are the studio versions from the original albums other than “Some Are”, “Time Will Crawl (MM remix)” and the live “Intro/Hang On To Yourself”. The version of “Time Will Crawl” is exclusive to vinyl on this compilation.

Ah ! enfin mais pourquoi seulement 8 titres ? en échange de quoi on a de l'orange ... nous sommes quand même gâtés ! _________________I still adopt the view that music itself carries its own message. That’s why I’m furious you didn’t get to hear the album because the lyrics taken on their own are nothing without the secondary sub-text of what the musical arrangement has to say.
